Christ Maas has a sale Jan. 8 at his
farm seven miles east of Menno.
Geo. Heinrich left for Iowa, to
spend the winter with his daughter
Mrs. Wellner. He called at this office
and paid subscriptions for both his
daughter and son before he left.
A.J. Swanton changed the batteries
in the phone in this office and found
that the old 1900 dry cells had been in
the phone since Aug. 17, 1909. That's
what we call good batteries.
Geo. Mettler of Lodi, Calif., is vis-iting
at the home of his sister Mrs.
Conrad Finck who is seriously ill with
pneumonia.
Jacob J. Herrboldt ordered his paper
changed from Virgil to Alpena where
he has traded for a livery barn and
moved to town to run it.
If you chance to go past Meyer
Bjorum's farm, take notice of the big
corn cribs, then look at that hundred
head of Poland China hogs and you
will surely see how one farmer makes
farming pay. There is good money in
seven cent hogs when corn is only 32
cents per bushel.
Valentine Hartz and Emilie Rolof
were united in marriage by Rev. E.P.
Beyer. Ernest Mielke and Rosa Eckert

place in the house of Josef Eckert, the
bridegroom being a brother to Mrs.
Eckert.
Dr. Augspurger took Emil P. Her-rboldt
to Yankton to the hospital where
the forefinger was amputated. He got
the finger in a corn sheller several days
ago and mashed it so badly that it was
necessary to take it off.
Ludwig Kirschenman and George
Preszler left for their homes at Lodi,
Calif., after a month visit among
friends and relatives here. They have
both done well since they left here a
dozen years ago. Preszler sold 160
acres of roughland to Wolf Creek and
bought 160 acres of roughland on
Wolf Creek and bought 160 acres
at Lodi. His land there is worth over
$200 per acre now and it will be a
good many years before land on Wolf
Creek will bring $200 per acre.
The 14 year old son of George Roth
of Clayton was killed by being kicked
by a horse.
John Suess Sr., father of the manag-er
of the Menno Lumber Company, is
here visiting his son and other friends
and relatives.
Calvin Aisenbrey and August Rit-tershaus
are home from Plymouth,
Wis., for the holidays.
Wm. Jungman arrived from Chica-go
where he has been attending North-western
University.
The county auditor says the re-cords
in his office show that the town
of Menno was incorporated Jan. 22,
1889. The first board of trustees elect-ed
consisted of J.H. Swanton, Karl L.
Gall and Jacob Haisch. Wesley Doug-lass
was the town clerk.
Cistern water is getting so scarce
that some are hauling ice for water.
The schools have been closed at
Scotland, Parker and other places on
account of scarlet fever, but so far
Menno has been fortunate enough to
escape any contagious disease.
